VerdanaThe world did not come to an end at the new millennium, but did the 20th century museum? There have been many changes in the world over the last few years, and many organizations are struggling to find a new path in it. Is attendance still the best measure of success? How do museums find their place in busy school and family schedules? What role does tradition place in changing museums and communities? How will new technologies change our exhibitions and programs? How do we encourage diversity in museum staff, volunteers and visitors? As the world changes at an even faster pace, so will museums. At this year’s UHA/MANY Annual Conference we will be examining how museums are keeping pace with changes in society, and what the future may hold for museums and the communities they serve. The UHA/MANY conference is the largest gathering of museum professionals and volunteers in the state. Each year it brings together a diverse array of individuals from all types and sizes of museums, historical societies and other cultural organizations. We are excited to be holding this year’s conference in Rochester, home to a large number of exciting museums, including our main host, the Rochester Museum and Science Center. We invite you to join your colleagues in a rich discussion of the ways in which we can reach to the next generation For more information about the UHA/MANY Annual Conference, including the conference schedule and registration form, please visit www.upstatehistory.org or call 800.895.1648.
